Ongoing monthly games in Michigan

We've got four locations in Michigan with regular monthly games:AFK Games in Holt/Lansing, BigKidz Games in Grand Rapids,Nostalgia Ink in Jackson, and BC Comix in Kalamazoo.Check the schedule for a game near you.

Since we have been using Advanced rules on-and-off for the past few years, I would like to codify and standardize what rules players can expect to use at my Battletech games. All the following rules, save one, can be found in Tactical Operations:

Expanded Flip Arms [torso-twist AND flip arms at the same time] (p.87)

Rapid Fire AC [light and std AC's can double fire] (p.100)

Energy Weapons [dialing down lasers] (p.102)

Gauss Weapons [powering-down gauss rifles] (p.102)

Rapid Fire Machine Guns [higher rate of fire] (p.102)

Hot-Load Missiles [no minimum on LRM/ATM] (p.102)

Disengage PPC Inhibitor [no minimum on PPC] (p.103)

Retractable Blade [possible critical hit] (p.104)

The following rule is a "house" rule and is used simply to ensure that the entire mapsheets are available for use:

1/2-hexes and 1/4-hexes are to be treated like full-sized hexes for purposes of gameplay.

Note: If there is any question about the disposition of the underlying terrain, then the GameMaster will have sole discretion for deciding what said terrain is (if the "majority terrain" rule doesn't resolve the disposition of said hex).

While I may add special rules that are specific to the scenario, these rules are what players can expect to be used in every game that I run. Please take the time to review said rules and bring any and all questions to the GameMaster "before" the game begins. In future games, I will bring a copy of these rules for quick reference.
